Ok so if nothing else, this may be another reason to wipe out Afghanistan. Im not riduculing cultures but comon..... This is from US Todays sports session.

AFGHANS SEEK TO MAKE CRICKET NOT WAR
despite the threat of war, Afghanistan wants to take part in a cricket tournament. They were accepted but whether they can play depends on the circumstances. Cricket became popular in the mid 1880's but never rivaled the national sport of Buzkashi, in which teams of horsemen vie for possession of a headless goat carcass.

someone give these dudes a football please

Saw a documentary on Afghanistan and they showed the national game involving tossing around a calf's head while on horseback. We have to accept it is cultural. After all, our footballs are made from the hides of dead animals so what's the difference?

Great - now we have the Kabul Kowboys to deal with .......

Something is just not sitting right with me about using a dead Goat head. But I guess when in Rome......

:puke:

This Week's Afghan Pick 'em:
Kabul Kowboys vs. Taliban Titans
Bin Laden Looneys vs. Jihad Jackasses
:cool:

yeah our footballs are made of cow hides but they dont still contain the guts

Hmmm, do you think the Afghan's national sport will turn up in one of those Fox Sports ads about the local coverage, like the one with the guy on the bike getting lassooed (sp?) or the blindfolded guy clubbing the shit out of the other guy and so on?
